Thi annoys me somewhat. When I was 14 I worked as a waitress in a local pub, now, you have to be 18. Pot wash, 18. Most jobs 20/30 years ago you could do at a younger age. Now there are different rules. I even was in charge of a shop at 15. Don’t know how that was allowed 😂
Listening to a woman moaning on the radio that her kid (who will graduate from University with a first class degree) cant get a job in KFC because he has no experience.
Well, my little friend, that is because you didn't encourage him to work as a kid. You probably bought his phone, and his clothes and his nights out. Otherwise he'd have five years experience by now.
Then you encouraged him to go to University, an entirely pointless exercise in an economy that is flooded with useless graduates for jobs that don't exist.
And now you bemoan the lack of possibilities supplied by others for your special son.
In this brave new world he is going to have to make the opportunities happen. He will need to learn to hustle; Get gardening, get grafting, get dirty, volunteer, do the dodgy stuff, understand the real world.
Because one thing is for sure, my delicate wall flowers, the world is not going to give you a job.
You need to understand where the demand is, and supply it. Just as it ever was.
80% of Universities need to reverting to trade polytechnics
